New YORK, Nov. 5.-The Commercial
Advertiser publishes a story told by a
boatman whose reputation for truthful
ness is vouched for, to the effect that on
Sunday night last he rowed to Hoffman
island, where the cholera suspects are
quarantined; that nobody interfered with
him; that he traficked with people on
the island and carried ashore and mailed
eight letters; that one of them offered
him $50 to row him ashore, telling him at
the same time that a number of cholera
suspects bad escaped, one of them last
week. The boatman saw nothing to pre-
vent him from rowing away with a dozen
Italians if he had wanted to. Quarantine
Commissioner Nicol returned from Wash
ington to-day. He was pleased with the
result of his visit to Secretary Fairchild.
The secretary assured him of CO. operation
with the New York health authorities in
the matter of cholera ships to the full
extent of his power. This he believed
extended to warning such vessels away
from our shores.

The Markets-stocks and Cattle.

New YORK, Nov. 4.-The stock mar
ket to day was active, and while strong
at first yielded up at the close to the
heavy pressure brought to bear by the
bears. The high figures after the steady
advance of the week induced considerable
realization by the short wasted bulls, and
the bears became encouraged to make a
demonstration against the list. 1t made
but little progress, however, until the
issue Of the bank statement, with its loss
of $500, 900 in abe surplus reserve, when
the selling became more marked and the
list yielded rapidly. The net result of
the days trading in most stocks are lower,
though declines are confined generally to
fractional amount only, the only import
ant changes being in Northern Pacific

CHICAGO, Nov. 5.-An extraordinary
communication, signed by Spies, Schwab
and Fielder, d~isavowing aggressive
force" and deploring the loss of life at
Haymarket, was given out to night for
publication. 1t is addressed to Governor
Oglesby and is to be forwarded to him
with a formal petition for clemency. The
guarded wording of the document is as
notable as its matter, particularly as this
is the first expression of the kind any of
the condemned anarchists have made.
Parsons, 1t is understood, .acquiesces in its
contents, and will address a separate let
ter OF his own to the governor embodying
the same ideas. Lingg. Engel and Fis-
cher steadfastly refuse, however, to go on
record with any such declaration.
Following is the letter in full:
Governor Richard OgIeSIy, Spriag-
field, IH-SIR: In order that the truth
may be known by you, and the public you
represent, we desire to state that we never
advocated the use of force except in case
of self defense. To accuse US of having
attempted to overthrow the law and gov
ernment on May A., 1886, or at any other
time il as false as it is absurd. Whatever
we said or did was said and done publicly.
We have never conspired or plotted to
commit an unlawful act. While we
attacked the present social arrangements
in writing and speech, and exposed their
iniquities, we have never consciously
broken any laws. So far from having
planned the killing of anybody at Hay
market or anywhere else, the very object
OF the meeting was to protest against the
commission of murder.
I'VE believe it to be our duty as friends
of labor and liberty to oppose any other
use OF force than is a necessary defense of
the sacred rights against unlawful at
tacks. All our efforts have been in the
direction of elevating mankind and to re
move as much as possible the cause of
crime in society. Our labor was unselfish.
No motives of personal gain or ambition
prompted us. Thousands and thousands
will bear testimony to this. We may
have erred at times in our judgment.
Yes, we may have Flowed mankind not
wisely, but too we'll" If in the excite
ment of p~ropagating our views we were
led into expressions which caused work
ingmen to think the aggressive force was
a proper instrument OF reform, we regret
it. We deplore the loss of life at the
Haymarket, as at McCormaGks, at East
Louis and at the Chicago stock yards.
Yours respectfully,
A. SPIES,

CHICAGO, Nov. 4.-Governor +. E.
Warren, of Wyoming Territory, is here
at the Palmer house upon private bust
ness. He was an appointee OF President
Arthur's, and held office under the pres
ent administration for twenty months.
He is now looking after the interests of
the Warren Cattle company, which is
feeding some 10000 sheep and 5000
horses in Southern Wyoming. He
thought the new cattle trust would be of
general benefit to cattle growers and con-
sumers az well. The combination of in
terests would enable them to transfer cat
tie from over crowded ranges to those de-
populated by the hard winter and equallze
the benefits. They would be able to par
tally make their W market,
and by slaughtering their own
cattle would save a large per-
centage to the grower. There vas
no danger OF any monopoly; on the con-
trary, the small dealers would benefit by a
more fixed market, and in nc way be in
iured by the completion of the trust.
There was nodanger to the cattle industry
from the large foreign holdings, the ten
dency now being to %relinquish them.
Business was good, but the large profits
which had attracted foreign capital could
not now be so easily made, and some of
the English companies were going into
liquidation. The Dakota Cattle company
was even now moving into the British
possessions, where large holdings could be
had at a more moderate rental. The
tendency now is to break up the large
holdings and feed in smaller punches.
The settling up of the country along the
water courses had broken up the larger
ranges. M~anyranchmen, he among the num-
Der, and he had twenty years experience
there, had gone back into the country and
sunk wells and made small ranges around
them. Costly experience had taught
them to prepare winter feed and not to
attempt to keep breeding cattle upon the
far northern ranges. The cost and care
was greater, but this saving was worth all of
it. The governor said they never had any
trouble there from pleuro pneumonia and
many who did not know what it was
thought him something of an old granny,
but he believed that the quarantine which
he had rigidly established had saved his
territory from it, although the governors
of Illinois and Missouri had bombarded
him somewhat sharply for it. The gov
ernor said his people were greatly inter-
ested in the anarchists case on account of
their Rock Springs riots two years ago,in
which so many Cinnamon were brutally
murdered. The spirit of anarchy mani
tested then by certain classes was still
feared. In fact, the government, which
under the treaty had TO protect the Chi
namen, still kept two companies of regu-
lars at Rock Springs. Their people
hoped to see the sentence executed swift
ly and surely, as a warning to all such
turbulent spirits. There was not a great
deal of political talklthere, the legislature
be beng b9,b about "s1 evenly myr divided hd:h People go pie. there ere
their local offices filled by Wyoming men
of the opposite party than by any of their
own party from an outside state. On that
account the appointment of Governor
Moonlight, of Kansas, by President
Cleveland, was received with great dis
favor.

New York, Nov. 5.-Justus Schwab
received a telegram from Geo. A. Schil-
ling, of Chicago, requesting him to i'm
plore the condemned anarchists of Chicago
10 petition Governor Oglesby for elem
ency Schwab sent a dispatch to the
condemned men saying:
Comrades, | and tens Of thousands
implore you to ask the governor for a
Communication of sentence in behalf of your
families, yourselves and the cause you
have so nobly espoused. Give us a chance
to demonstrate to the world your right
eousness and innocence. History and the
future will certainly find a different YER
dict. If you will live, liberty will live"
The following was sent to Governor
Oglesby to-day: THE church Of humanity
advises you to exercise clemency toward
the SO called anarchists now under sen
tence of death. Do not despise this ad
vice. Much depends Upon your action.

Moving For C1emency.

CHICAGO, Nov. Sit is stated to day
that Anarchist Lingg still refuses to sign
any petition for executive clemency.
States Attorney Grinnel gave instructions
this morning to the clerks of the Grimm
al courts to prepare no calenders for next
week. THIS means there is to be no courts
in anticipation of the execution. Judge
Frank Baker, who Is now sitting in the
criminal court signed a petition for a
Communication of the sentence this morn
ing. Now that there seems to be a STAN
pede in the direction ola Communication for
the convicted anarchists, IL may be well
to mention what effect it has already made
in a very important section of the COM
munity-the police force. Already a
feeling a kin. to dismay, has arisen
among the blue coats and is believed
that the discomfort will soon find some
strong expression.
Among those who have signed petit
tons to the governor for a Communication
of the anarchists sentence are w. 9.
Groudy, the well known Democratic
leader and general counsel of the North
western railroad; S. p. Mcconnell, a
prominent member of the bar; S. s.
Gregory, lawyer and former president of
the Iroquis club; |. K. Boyesen, the
regular Democratic nominee for states
attorney; Lyman Trumbull, ex-United
States senator; W. G. Ewing, United
States district attorney. +. 8. Winston,
ex- minister to Persia; Judge Moran, of
the appellate court Lyman }. Gage,
president OF the First National bank;
Marvin Hughitt. president of the North
western railroad, and Judge Baker, of
the criminal court.
